Walking Lessons

Its become an annual thing, South Mountain Community Colleges production of Black Women Walking. For the past three years, the school has celebrated Black History Month with the popular one-act play spotlighting the achievements of eleven notable African-American women. Playwright Karen F. Williams memory play considers the contributions of Harriet Tubman, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Sojourner Truth to our America, by way of reminiscences from a trio of friends gathered for a chat. The focus, of course, is on the courage, character, and smarts of these and eight other black heroines, but Williams doesnt dwell on the hardship that dogged them as they fought for justice and equality in tougher times.

Directed by Kevvin Taylor, the one-act will perform in the colleges Performance Hall.
